"The Moment I Said It" - Imogen Heap
The rain came down hard this morning as I approached the hill just above Marengo and Arroyo Parkway. My iPod started to play this song as I made my way down to the traffic light below. Cars were stopped from all sides as I watched the Metro cross the street. Then it was my turn. I made a left and drove cautiously towards the 110 freeway. I knew cops frequent this area and I definitely didn't want to get caught this time around. My red and white tends to attract the wrong kind of attention.
The rain started to soften up as I waited patiently for the light to turn green. As I looked around I couldn't help, but notice just how careless some people really were. Some drivers had their vanity mirrors out to touch up their makeup while others decided to ignore their hand-held devices to talk or text. Pedestrians without umbrellas (knowing full well that it was going to rain) tried to make a run for it.
I question just how mortal we truly believe we are by taking chances like this every day. We live off convenience and risk suffering the consequences. Time is so precious that we often find ourselves with very little of it. We make up for it by trying to do things as we go or rushing to beat the clock, but yet as limited as it can be we somehow forget just how precious it really is.
It only takes one car with a distracted driver.
One pedestrian who couldn't quite get to the other side.
Then BAM!
Your whole life changes and can even come to an end.
Jaws dropped, onlookers looked on, as the ambulance made its way down the street. This red and white always has the right of way. And this time someone's light never did make it to the green.
Lyrics:
The moment I said it
the moment I opened my mouth
lead in your eyelids
Bulldozed the life out of me
I know what you're thinking
But darling you're not thinking straight
Sadly things just happen...we can't...explain
It's not even light out,
But you've somewhere to be - no hesitation
No I've never seen you like this
And I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it at all
Just put back the car keys
or somebody's going to get hurt
who are you calling at this hour
sit down, come round, I need you now
we'll work it all out together
we're getting nowhere tonight
now sleep, I promise, it'll all seem better somehow
in time
It's not even light out
Suddenly, you've somewhere to be
No hesitation
mmmm...I've never seen you like this
You're scaring me, you're scaring me,
You're scaring me to death
Don't...oh, smash...please
Don't...oh...and another one
Don't...oh...and another one
I'm losing you...I'm losing you
Trust me on this one
I've got a bad feeling
Trust me on this one
You're going to throw it all away
With no hesitation
Bye bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye bye bye bye
bye bye bye
bye
